Overview
CT scan shows nonspecific findings in bronchiolitis that can help differentiate it from other diseases. These findings are centrilobular nodules, bronchiolar wall thickening, ground glass appearance and parenchymal cysts.
CT scan
CT scan shows nonspecific findings in cases of bronchiolitis. These findings can be found in other diseases and they include the following:[1]
- Centrilobular nodules (with the tree-in-bud pattern)
- Bronchiolar wall thickening
- Ground glass appearance
- Parenchymal cysts
